A great start, but it skips often on my Powerbook. I'm not sure yet whether it's the decoder eating a lot of CPU (which it seems to do...?) or because of the Powerbook's audio powersaving mode. It definitely does skip when I move windows around. Still, like I said, a great start!

Considering the graphical abilities of OS X, plus the fact that many musicians still rely on Macs for audio work, I can't believe it's taken this long for a good player to pop up. Everyone seems to have given up on audio players for Mac since iTunes, but I find that iTunes is...lacking.

I think iTunes is so overwhelmingly dominant that nobody's even willing to try to challenge it. iTunes probably is a great solution for the average non-sophisticated user. Personally I don't want something that's a database manager and a player and I really need something that plays other formats besides those that Apple has blessed. Support of some other lossless format than ALAC is especially important I think.

Just tried it now on my 500 mhz powerbook g4; it plays files well, but still skips from time to time. Also, this is the 20050127 version that I'm trying, as 20050130 just bounces in the dock once or twice and disappears .

Thanks for testing. I'll see if I can figure out what's up with the newer version.
